Technological innovation and digital infrastructure

Beyond raw extraction, the nations will work closely in areas such as technology, innovation, digital public infrastructure, AI and semiconductors.

The MoU provides an institutional framework for processing and recycling technologies for minerals, as well as automation in exploration. “Our nations will also work closely in areas such as technology, innovation, digital public infrastructure, AI, semiconductors and more,” said Modi.

This includes the use of artificial intelligence in geoscientific data analysis to enhance exploration processes. Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy and India’s Ministry of Steel will lead efforts to integrate these advanced technologies into the steel value chain.
